Your driving instructor will ask that you and a parent or guardian sign a copy of the Terms & Conditions form and return it to them.

Signing the Terms & Conditions form shows agreement and understanding of the terms and conditions entailed in taking driving lessons with your MBM Driving tuition Instructor.

Please note; On your first lesson you must present your instructor with a valid provisional licence.

Notifiable conditions are anything that could affect your ability to drive safely.

They can include:Epilepsy / strokes / other neurological and mental health conditions / physical disabilities / visual impairments

Limitation of liability

Your instructor isn’t liable to you for any loss or damage caused where, and to the extent that:

The instructor will make every effort to instruct the Pupil to the highest standard but can in no way be held liable for any errors that the Pupil may make whilst driving and not accompanied by the instructor either before or after a test pass.
